Lifeguard Training

We regularly run open water lifeguard courses and CPD training. Our courses are a mix of theory and practical and will ensure you are ready to be an effective lifeguard and/or Water Safety paddler. As part of the training we will use scenario training based on real life rescues and incidents our team have dealt with. 

RLSS Open Water Lifeguard Course

Become a qualified open water lifeguard in three days or just one day if you hold a valid up to date NPQL qualification. This qualification will give you the skills and confidence to keep swimmers safe in the water and if required carry out a rescue and perform lifesaving first aid. 

Water Safety Paddler Course

This one day workshop combines learning to be an effective paddler with also how to spot a swimmer in difficulty and then how to support the swimmer until extraction can be arranged by powered craft. This course is open to everyone but is also a great bolt on for Open Water Lifeguards to learn how to operate from on the water. 

Open Water Lifeguard CPD

Part of the requirement for qualified Open Water Lifeguards is to demonstrate ongoing CPD prior to their renewal. We regularly run CPD training workshops that last around 2 hours and will qualify towards your CPD hours. As well as covering the core syllabus we also introduce you to move advanced skills to improve your knowledge and understanding.
